That is the other potential concern we could make our choice around. We cannot save ourselves [ a matter of fact implication, there: she, too, assumes they will die ], so the question remains: do we do as much good as we can, now, or do we look to our future alliances?
My own preference is the former, but it would be foolish to ignore the significance of this choice.
[ her lips twist unhappily ] I have liked those I’ve spoken with, from BARiTONES, but they are not valuable allies. Avante and HSS as warriors, or sensitIV’s healing sorcery, would be more useful.
[ a pause ] —I am sorry. I should not speak that way.
It is hard to say. The very first thing I learned in this place was that avante has been targeted much in the past. I assume that they have struggled with allegiances.
...But. I know that HSS includes Mars. [ no judgement implied, there, just a gentle acknowledgement of fact ]
It's not a terrible way to think of it. I'd prefer to do it based on who needs it most, but. It seems like our thoughts are overlapping in that regard.
[ a sad smile ] I just... it would have been irresponsible not to mention it. If we are going to make a choice based on principle alone, we should do it with our eyes open.

[ biting her lip briefly, then— ] ...And the choice of sensitIV, for Persephone's sake, is on my mind as well.

I think I'd say HSS or sensitIV...

I... know there are people on other units who want to protect him, too. And maybe even have more right to it, given how little I remember.

[ falls quiet for long enough it seems like she's done speaking. when she pipes back up, she takes care to hold her head up. ]
But I think picking based on us- value alone is a mistake, because we wouldn't be anyone's top pick for that either.
